Sunflowers!

I go to Pilates, very early in the morning. Upon returning home I head out to my backyard to water, weed, prune, etc. I love my morning garden time, it's cool outside, the birds are waking up from their nightly slumber, it's still quiet out. This morning the sun's shadow on the sunflowers was so pretty, I just had to take some pics!

I leave my sunflowers out until the stalks are brown and the seeds are dry. In the fall the birds flock to the flowers and the seeds. It's quite entertaining to watch, they chatter, hang upside down, fight for position. A 69 cent pack of sunflower seeds gives me many months of enjoyment!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I've been married 30-something years. Between us we have three children, three granddaughters and one grandson (I love being Nana!) Though we are now empty nesters we do share our home with our black & white cocker spaniel, Harley. By day I'm a CPA. The rest of the time I'm a homebody. Nothing makes me happier than fluffing my nest and doing for my family. It seems like so much of my life revolves around numbers and accounting; whether it be taking care of my clients, measuring ingredients in the kitchen, counting cross stitches, measuring material for my next sewing project or counting the seconds to the finish line in my drag race car. I wake up every morning and count the many blessings I have.
